Hi folks , over 3 years ago they relocated an old Victorian home out here for track housing . The driveway had several 100 year old palm trees they cut down and I got a few pieces of them . They are wide pieces and the wood is soft like cork almost . I started carving a piece for the Tonga show when I got inspired to do something Ive never done .
Ive had an amazing tiki year with sales , shows , and calender work that will soon be in stores like Wal-Mart.I decided to give back and auction this piece off for the tiki fans . I will be bringing this piece to the show and starting the bidding at less than 1/2 price ($150.00). Anyone who wants to bid on it can add their price and name to the auction list . At 11:00 pm , whoever has the highest bid takes it home . It is 3-1/2 foot tall , 19"wide and 17" deep. Its kind of oval shaped .It has 2 coats of "Man o War" spar var on it . It is hand carved and burnt plus tattooed with wood burning tools . I hope you enjoy it , Tiki-Ray
